This course guides participants through the nuances of micro-editing YA fiction. The course covers the particulars of copyediting and line editing as they apply specifically to YA material, to touch on details also related to the following:

• Rock-solid sentence structure

• Steady, appropriately paced plot flow

• Clever, effective point of view

• Strong, believable characterization

• Realistic settings and scenes

• Authentic, age-specific tone of voice

• Engaging and unique style

Learn when and how to draft a comprehensive style sheet or editorial letter and the tricks to balancing a softer editing touch with weightier queries and suggestions for the author or publisher. Get to know the very lighthearted but demanding YA demographic—no room for lulls in the narrative for this fast-paced audience. The only course requirement is a willingness to have fun with it!

    I took this course because I love reading YA! Although I want to grow as an editor, I want to grow as a writer too. The lessons went above and beyond my expectations. The homework was a perfect balance of being challenged.
